as we are a depleted train wreck with funding issue and that he should wait for a better time. well, my simple question is when it is a better time than now? when someone else has brought us back to glory and there's no job opening? or does he wait until he's 70 and we suck and we give him a sympathy job in hopes of inspiring a future fan base? does he come after building purdue into a big 10 power and decides winning there isn't worth it anymore?
quite simply, the job is open now and even though purdue would be pissed they'll know it's his hometown. additionally, in terms of having the upper hand in negotiations, pretty sure he can ask for most reasonable things plus a bag of chips. if he has ever dreamed of being the head coach at louisville, his alma mater, his hometown where his parents still live, then this may be the only opportunity he ever gets and for pundits to say don't take it then not a single one of them has ever had the opportunity to coach at their alma mater. the only reason brohm doesn't come here in my honest opinion is he doesn't want that local pressure in case he fails. otherwise, on average, it's 20 degrees warmer here than in west lafayette and a lot closer trip to recruit in florida.
